This month we are happy to highlight Taylors Free Medical in Taylors, SC. Plus Incorporated partners with TFMC in handling their IT and copier equipment. Taylors free medical Clinic is a faith-based clinic whose mission is to minister to the mind, body and spirit of the medically uninsured and indigent people of the greater Taylors area. Aside from the management team, they are fully staffed by volunteers, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and administrative personnel. Even the cleaning is done by volunteers. Volunteers are the back bone of the operation. They see patients 4 days a week and average over 130 appointments per week. On Wednesday mornings they screen and rescreen for eligibility. To date, they have screened/serviced over 3,800 patients. Last year they provided over 4,500 patient visits. In addition to primary care, they offer specialty clinics to include Chiropractic, Counseling, Surgical, Orthopedic, Dermatology, Gynecology, Neurology, Cardiology, and Physical Therapy. When they opened the doors of the clinic for operation on July 28, 2005, they saw 10 patients that evening. To date, they have screened and serviced over 3,700 patients. An average Thursday night now consists of 3 medical doctors, 3 nurses, a chiropractor, and a counselor to see approximately 30 medical patients, 15 chiropractic patients and 5-6 counseling. This is all supported by a volunteer staff of greeters, receptionists, medical records, and security. In addition to the Thursday night clinic they now offer specialty clinics to include Chiropractic, Counseling, Surgical, Orthopedic, Dermatology, Gynecology, x-ray, Neurology and now every Monday and Tuesdays for follow up visits, and every Wednesday they screen for eligibility. They have been amazed to see God's hand in every aspect of the planning, execution, and operation of this clinic. The Board of Directors has been very faithful to keep God in the center of every decision that is made and every action that is taken regarding the clinic and God has been faithful to bless it as a result of that. Taylors Free Medical will be holding their 2015 Annual Banquet Thursday, April 16, 2015. Plus Incorporated will be sponsoring a table at the event.
